Clepsydra
A Clypsydra is a microscopic marine invertibrate which dwells in the brackish lagoons of South Africa's St. Augustine Nature Preserve. In many ways it resembles a hydra, and uses an array of small tentacles to bring food into its body.
Clypsydras feed on algae and phytoplankon rich in proteins. Recent research has shown that Clypsydras contain a chemical which may aid in healing nerve damage.
